Global Village Voice

Remember that you can support GVS at no cost to you just by searching for what you want to find on the web. Designate Global Village School as your charity and use the GoodSearch engine!

GoodShop works the same way.  While we encourage you to buy local when you can, many of the places you are planning to shop this holiday season probably participate, and all you need to do is designate Global Village School as your charity ad click through to the site you want to shop at from the GoodShop website.  The merchant and Goodshoop will coordinate the rest!

We like to let you know the kind of things our homeschooling families are doing.  This time around we have a young K8 homeschool student who is very interested in our natural heritage.

National Public Lands Day is the nation’s largest hands-on volunteer effort to improve and enhance the public lands Americans enjoy.  As part of this mission they have solicited videos that answer the question “How Do You Love Your Favorite Public Land?”

Avalon, a GVS 4th grade homeschool student, narrated a video for Camp Bayou and this video is a finalist in the National Public Lands Day contest.  Please check it out and if you like it, sign into YouTube and vote by clicking the thumbs up icon.
